smores 7

If you’re having a Winter wedding – or even just a wedding that will involve a bonfire – then there’s one thing that will make your guests get excited about your nuptials: s’mores. This classic campfire snack is loved by everybody thanks to the gooey toasted marshmallows and melted chocolate. If you’re not having a fire but still want your guests to be transported back to their childhood camping trips (at least the good parts of them!) then you can also include skewers, tealight candles and lighters so they can have their own mini portable campfire.

If you’re going this route I’d recommend getting little boxes (such as mini chinese takeaway boxes) rather than cellophane because they will be incredibly hard to wrap! Wanting to kick your s’mores up a notch? Replace the plain biscuits with chocolate chip cookies for extra sweetness and decadent chocolatey goodness!

What you’ll need:

Plain biscuits

Dark chocolate blocks

Marshmallows

Cellophane

String

Scissors

A hole punch

Tags (You can download the ones I used here)

Lighters

Tealight candles

White labels

Black Sharpie pen

Skewers

What to do:

Step 1 Using sharp scissors (they’re less likely to snag the cellophane) cut your cellophane into large squares.

Step 2 Pile on your s’mores ingredients: 4 biscuits, 2 pieces of chocolate and 2 marshmallows.

Step 3 Pull the corners of your cellophane together above the s’mores ingredients and pinch to hold in place. Tie with a piece of string to secure.

Step 4 Cut out your label and use a hole punch to make a hole for the string.

Step 5  Attach the label to the s’mores package and tie into a nice bow.

Step 6 Cut a small triangle out of your label and stick on your lighter, using your sharpie pen to add a bow tie and buttons to mimic a tuxedo (optional – you could also get brightly coloured lighters or personalised matches)

Step 7 Display with additional lighters, skewers and tealights for your guests to take home to make their own mini bonfire.
